Obviously thin in children

Due to the effects of certain diseases, children are significantly thinner than normal children. Obvious thinness in children is one of the clinical symptoms of congenital heart disease. The development of infants and young children with congenital heart disease lags significantly behind their children of the same age, showing signs of weakness, malnutrition, and stunting. Congenital cardiovascular disease is the most common type of congenital malformations. With the development of cardiac diagnostic methods and surgical treatment techniques, the vast majority of congenital cardiovascular diseases can now obtain a clear diagnosis and corrective surgery, and the prognosis has significantly improved.
